Back to Virginia Stoneware |
Item #ALNJ03 |

| Description: |
Highly sought after stoneware storage jar, made c1815, very probably by John Swann of Alexandria, Virginia. It is decorated with cobalt blue on the front and back, as well as the top of the ears. Blue decorated pieces made by Swann are very difficult to find. The large majority of his pieces were not decorated. This piece is very characteristic of Swann stoneware, in shape, formation of the collar, style of the ears and color of the jar. The form and decoration suggest that this is one of the earliest cobalt decorated pieces of Alexandria stoneware to have survived. |
